I thought you guys hate the Ph.D.'s... LOL

What was it besides switching meds that you did not like about psych? Just asking? There is a new field called behavioral genetics that has a lot of neurology involved... And there is a nice article in Newsweek about children that are severely emotionally disturbed and their treatment. They basically say their amygdala is malformed or has a birth defect that exacerbates their behavioral processing... And they also point out that the meds are not studied in clinical trials with children.
